Toilet Humor...

"Yeah ... got it once before. If you don't eat you see you finally stop shitting, naturally. And then about two weeks after that you have this fantastic shit, it comes out like a tornado. It's all the crap right at the bottom of your bowel, all the packed in stuff that never comes out, that always gets left behind." (p. 30)

Um... yeah...

Now you might be wondering why in the world I would pick this precise quote instead of any of the other millions of quotes that are possibly more appropriate. Well, to put it frankly, it was because this part just really stood out to me. Not only because of its grotesqueness but because it just seemed so out of place that I knew it had to mean something. I mean, a respectable writer doesn't go around writing about excrement just because it amuses his inner 8 year old (poop... heh heh)

So then I started to dig deeper (oh god) and tried to relate this to the essence of Buddy's life. In the beginning, his life just seems to trail along. It was just drinking, sleeping, scaring customer [poop]less, and playing his loud jazz melodies. Then, BAM! The [poop] hits the fan (no pun intended(just kidding it totally was. (Woah! This is a parenthesis inside a parenthesis inside a parenthesis... Englisheption...))) and he disappears. This same abruptness can be related to the sudden tornado of [poop].

                                              WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUU...

All jokes aside, I really do think there is a deeper meaning about this passage. It can't just be Crawley being like, "Oh hey. I like to poop." Wow, this has become one quality blog post. English teachers must just love it when they see how their students use the skills they learn in class to ramble on about poop.
